Govinda`s move to revamp his image may have to wait a little longer, now that the Congress has roped in the actor for the party`s ongoing election campaign. So, has the Virar ka chokra developed political ambitions? Nope, say senior Congress leaders and the actor`s secretary, Shashi Sinha.

Actually, it`s Govinda`s event management company, Number One Entertainment, that has been signed up the Congress to provide the lighter moments during Sonia Gandi`s whistle-stop tour of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. Knowing Govinda`s propensities, he is going to enjoy every moment of it, especially the confrontation with Bade Miyan Amitabh Bachchan, who has been on the campaign trail with the Samajwadi Party for several weeks now. If one can make some money even as one attracts some media attention, why not?

With his last few films failing to set the box office on fire, the Entertainer No. 1 is in dire need of some popular support. What better way to garner votes than hitching your wagon to the greatest tamasha on earth — the Great Indian Electoral Battle?
